OF impaired their property TO such degree
as 70 render il practically vAiueiess, that
such destruction Or impairment vas a
virtual taking and tat the State could
not, in disregard Of due process Of law, =
take ;le property a citizen Without
compensating him therefor.
This contention. it vas commonly

the authors of the proLibitory laws Of
Kansas did not feel assured that they had
formulated statute which woaid bear
successfully the brunt OF such an attack
against what vas feared vas weak place

that under its police power" Tie State, :

As might have been expected, and as We
predicted some time ago the Supreme
Court Of the United States las rendered
an authoritative decision fully establish
ing the right Of State to pass and
enforce laws Prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale Of intoxcants without pro-
vding for compensation for manufacturers,
dealers and others whose business may
chance to be broken mp by the enforce
ment Of such laws. This settles it. The
rum traffic might as well understand first
as last that it has its existence only upon
the sufferance Of the people, and now let
Prohibitionists and temperance people
bend themselves anew to tie work Of so
informing the public mind and stimulat-
ing the public conscience that the business
may eventually be driven from the land.
One by one its defenses are beaten DOWN
slowly but surely the lines are being
drawn closer and closer that mark its
limits and, eventually, driven from every
legal refuge, as it has long ago been driven
from every moral defense, let the traffic
stand oBtlawed and dishonored rs it de-
serves.
